Применение законодательства союзного государства Республики Беларусь и Российской Федерации в области обращения с отходами

The purpose of this article was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, as well as the practice of its application in such an important area as waste management. The intensive development of society, the growing number of industrial production inevitably led to the formation of a large amount of waste. Russia and Belarus should solve these issues jointly and comprehensively. This need is connected not only with the solution of growing environmental problems, which no state can cope with alone, but also with the fact that our countries are building a single economic space. The subject of this analysis is the social relations that develop during waste management. When performing the work, the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, subordinate regulatory legal acts, and scientific literature were used. When writing the work, both general scientific and private scientific methods of scientific knowledge were used. As a result of the work, the shortcomings of the current legislation in the field of waste management were identified and ways to solve them were proposed. The practical significance of the work lies in their discussion at the sixty-sixth meeting of the permanent seminar at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union of Belarus and Russia on the construction of the Union State and the formation of proposals to the legislators of Russia and Belarus, which are aimed at improving its efficiency.
